This book traces the dynamics of military-technological innovation in Russia over the last hundred and fifty years, particularly focusing on three distinct periods: the introduction of rifled ...breech-loading weapons in Imperial Russia in the nineteenth century, the invention of nuclear weapons in the Soviet Union in the twentieth century, and the development of precision-guided weapons in post-Soviet Russia in the twenty-first century.

In the countries of Middle and Eastern Europe the collapse of „real socialism” was followed by the annulment of political and ideological supervision over scientific researches. Since then the ...political theory has been developing in an unembarrassed way, drawing investigative patterns with the tradition of western political sciences. Form this perspective, the expression „westernization” used with regard to political theory signifies the process of going away from Marxism and historical materialism. The article focuses on two essential trends of this process. The main consequence is the pluralization of theoretical bases of investigations, which signifies not only differentation, but also the lack of predominant theory. The international program for monitoring the development since 1990, shows that new investigative trends disclose a division between the traditional and current model of politology, which demonstrates the topicality of arguments raised in western academic debatesover the theoretical condition and status of political science discipline.

Cet article propose une réflexion épistémologique sur la place de la politique linguistique dans la formation des enseignants de langues étrangeres. Å partir de deux exemples contrastés, il met en ...relief les multiples facteurs qui influencent le champ de l'enseignement des langues. Il souligne le rôle crucial du contexte sociolinguistique, sociopolitique, (géo)politique et des idéologies dans l'émergence des politiques linguistiques.

Latin America was considered for many years the main bastion of Catholicism in the world by the number of parishioners and the influence of the church in the social and political life of the región, ...but in recent times there has been a decrease in the catholicity index. This paper explores three variables that have modified the identity of Catholicism in Latin American countries. The first one refers to the conversion processes that have expanded the presence of Christian denominations, by analyzing the reasons that revolve around the sense of belonging that these communities offer and that prop up their expansion and growth. The second variable accounts for those Catholics who still belong to the Catholic Church but who in their practices and beliefs have incorporated other magical or esoteric scheme in the form of religious syncretisms, modifying their sense of being Catholics in the world. The third factor has a political reference and has to do with the concept of laicism, a concept that sets its objective, not only in the separation of the State from the Church, but for historical reasons in catholicity restraint in the public space which has led to the confinement of the Catholic to the private, leaving other religious groups to occupy that space.
O OBJETIVO DESTE ARTIGO RESIDE NA ANÁLISE DO CASO DO JARDIM BOTÂNICO DA CIDADE DO RIO DE JANEIRO, ONDE, AO LONGO DO TEMPO, SE INSTALOU A COMUNIDADE DO HORTO, POR MEIO DE OCUPAÇÕES CONSOLIDADAS EM ...ÁREA DA UNIÃO FEDERAL. A QUESTÃO ENCONTRA-SE JUDICIALIZADA E A PARTIR DE PROCESSOS INICIADOS NOS ANOS 1980 (NOS QUAIS A PRÓPRIA UNIÃO É PARTE AUTORA) QUE VISARAM À RETIRADA DOS MORADORES. LEVAREMOS EM CONTA QUE A POLÍTICA DE GESTÃO DE IMÓVEIS DA UNIÃO TEM PASSADO, NESSE PERÍODO, POR UM PROCESSO CONTÍNUO E GRADATIVO DE MUDANÇA DE VISÃO, COM PARTICULAR REFERÊNCIA ÀS ÁREAS QUE POSSUEM OCUPAÇÕES CONSOLIDADAS, COM MORADIAS INSTALADAS. A COMPLEXIDADE DAS RELAÇÕES ENTRE OS MAIS DIVERSOS ATORES INSTITUCIONAIS ENVOLVIDOS PERMITE UMA ABORDAGEM VOLTADA PARA A PERCEPÇÃO, NO CAMPO DA REALIDADE, DE COMO O DIREITO À MORADIA DEVE (OU PODE) SE MATERIALIZAR FRENTE À COMPREENSÃO DE ARGUMENTOS TRADICIONAIS DO DIREITO. A INVESTIGAÇÃO PRESSUPÕE A ANÁLISE DE PROCESSO ADMINISTRATIVO INSTRUÍDO NO ÂMBITO DA CÂMARA DE CONCILIAÇÃO E ARBITRAGEM DA ADMINISTRAÇÃO PÚBLICA FEDERAL, UTILIZANDOSE OS MÉTODOS HISTÓRICO-COMPARATIVO, CONCEITUAL-DEDUTIVO E EMPÍRICO-INDUTIVO. TRATAREMOS DE DEMONSTRAR A VALIDADE DA TEORIA POLÍTICA DESENVOLVIDA PELA CRÍTICA COMUNITARISTA NORTE-AMERICANA E SUA ESPECIAL CONTRIBUIÇÃO PARA AS NOÇÕES DE JUSTIÇA SEGUNDO A CONCEPÇÃO CONTEMPORÂNEA. CONTEXTUALIZAREMOS O PROBLEMA CONCRETO ENFRENTADO PELA COMUNIDADE DO HORTO, SEU HISTÓRICO, E ESBOÇAREMOS O PERFIL DA COMUNIDADE, A PARTIR DA EXPOSIÇÃO DE DADOS SOCIOECONÔMICOS DAS PESSOAS QUE HABITAM O LOCAL. EXAMINAREMOS AS POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS DE GESTÃO DOS IMÓVEIS DA UNIÃO, DESTACANDO O PAPEL DA SECRETARIA DO PATRIMÔNIO DA UNIÃO E AS MUDANÇAS PARADIGMÁTICAS DESSA GESTÃO, SENSIVELMENTE PERCEBIDAS NAS ÚLTIMAS DUAS DÉCADAS. PASSAREMOS EM REVISTA A ARGUMENTAÇÃO DELINEADA EM UMA AÇÃO JUDICIAL POSSESSÓRIA INDIVIDUAL - O CASO GRACINDA -QUE DEU ORIGEM A UMA AUDITORIA REALIZADA PELO TRIBUNAL DE CONTAS DA UNIÃO, QUE CULMINOU EM DECISÃO PROFERIDA PELA CORTE DE CONTAS, EM SETEMBRO DE 2012, A QUAL TAMBÉM SERÁ OBJETO DE NOSSA ANÁLISE. SITUA-SE O TEMA, PORTANTO, NO CAMPO DA EFETIVIDADE DOS DIREITOS, ENTRE A NORMA JURÍDICA E O FATO SOCIAL
